School Focus

MetWest High School is in its first year of partnership with Mills Teacher Scholars. They are using collaborative inquiry to vertically align their learning objectives to best support student growth. Teachers are also deepening their professional community through a regular practice of utilizing student data to give and receive feedback, push each other’s thinking, and inform decisions about how to improve instruction.

“Through the collaborative inquiry there’s a real aha moment,” said Carrie Wilson, executive director of Mills Teacher Scholars. “It gives teachers a chance to see how the competencies intersect with their instructional practices.”
